- International success
The EHF European Cup Winners' Cup 2011/12 was a sign of attention when they won the quarter-finals after a 30:39 home defeat in the second leg at SG Flensburg-Handewitt with 32:27. In the EHF Champions League 2013/14 they reached the round of 16 against THW Kiel . Since the local hall does not meet the requirements of the EHF , the home games were played in Kharkiv , about 300 km away . Due to the tense political situation in spring 2014, the first leg of the last 16 was moved to the Hungarian city of Győr . THW Kiel won this with 31:28.
